deinmuter Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi everyone, Our pride and joy, a red tail shark (he's my boy blue!) has recently started getting white spots. He's a bit camera shy and too fast, so the link below is the only decent photo I can get of the boy - refer to the spot on his top fin. He has a similar spot near his mouth, and his bottom back fin. Hasn't changed much in behaviour form what we can see, he's quite active, no more aggressive or quieter than he has been in the past 2 months or so... I heard about white spot disease, and was hoping that this wasn't it, but not sure as I can't find any pics online... Hoping I can get some help from this amazing site...

Adrienne Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 You mean white tip on its dorsal fin ? If so its quite normal - http://www.tropicalfishbypost.co.uk/red ... shark.html occasionally on its other fin tips as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
